  • The capacity for Health Promotion survey
    General hospital psychiatry, 2014
    Co-Authors: Annick Maujean, Elizabeth Kendall, Carolyn Ehrlich, Steve Kisely
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective The objective was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Capacity for Health Promotion Survey designed to assess the practice of Health Promotion in the area of severe mental illness. Method Seven hundred and eighty-five Health professionals in Queensland, Australia, completed the survey. A principal component analysis was used to assess the factor structure of the scale and investigations of internal consistency, interitem correlation and item-discriminant validity were conducted to establish the reliability and validity of the survey. Results The final survey is a 22-item scale comprising five subscales: Beliefs about Behavior Change, Intention to Promote Health, Health Promotion Skills, Effectiveness of Health Promotion and Health Promoting Norms. The survey demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency for the five subscales. Items were more strongly correlated within their own subscales than with other subscales, providing evidence of discriminant validity. Conclusion The Capacity for Health Promotion Survey is a psychometrically sound measure to assess the practice of Health Promotion in the area of severe mental illness.

  • who Health Promotion glossary new terms
    Health Promotion International, 2006
    Co-Authors: Benjamin Smith, Kwok Cho Tang, Don Nutbeam
    Abstract:

    SUMMARY The WHO Health Promotion Glossary was written to facilitate understanding, communication and cooperation among those engaged in Health Promotion at the local, regional, national and global levels. Two editions of the Glossary have been released, the first in 1986 and the second in 1998, and continued revision of the document is necessary to promote consensus regarding meanings and to take account of developments in thinking and practice. In this update 10 new terms that are to be included in the Glossary are presented. Criteria for the inclusion of terms in the Glossary are that they differentiate Health Promotion from other Health concepts, or have a specific application or meaning when used in relation to Health Promotion. The terms defined here are: burden of disease; capacity building; evidence-based Health Promotion; global Health; Health impact assessment; needs assessment; self-efficacy; social marketing; sustainable Health Promotion strategies, and; wellness. WHO will continue to periodically update the Health Promotion Glossary to ensure its relevance to the international Health Promotion community.

  • Strengthening Health Promotion research
    European Journal of Public Health, 2020
    Co-Authors: Louise Potvin
    Abstract:

    Abstract Neither the Ottawa Charter nor any other WHO Conference declarations mention research and its role as a driver of Health Promotion practice. As a result, Health Promotion is often perceived as a discourse based on principles and values, an ideology that lacks scientific rigour. Despite this lack of recognition in Health Promotion documents, there is a burgeoning research domain that labels itself Health Promotion. The growing number of journals that publish empirical studies related to Health Promotion, the growing number of research training programs with a subspeciality in Health Promotion, and the growing number of research infrastructure (research chairs, research centres, institutes and so on) are all sure signs of a thriving research enterprise. However, these are institutionally disparate and dispersed in various disciplinary such as: education, public Health, psychology and others. Up to now, Health Promotion research has followed what one could call “potluck” a development model. In this model, interested individuals come with their own piece of empirical study, anchored in their disciplinary perspective, and the study is labelled Health Promotion essentially because they have decided to label it this way. As a result, the field of Health Promotion research also appears as disparate, wherein various and even contradictory epistemological and ethical perspectives are present. In this presentation, we will argue that Health Promotion as a practice and as policy systems would benefit from a stronger and more unified field of Health Promotion research, to the extent that research creates knowledge based on these practices and policy systems. Using a sustainability framework, we will show how research reinforces the conditions for the sustainability of Health Promotion practice and systems and we will propose some methodological and ethical principles with the potential to strengthen the positive and mutual benefits of Health Promotion research and practice.
